Description

1760 Voce Populi Halfpenny. Nelson-4, W-13820. Rarity-3. MS-65 BN (PCGS).

An astounding level of preservation for the type, this beautiful Gem is tied with just one other coin for the finest graded of the entire Voce Populi Halfpenny series at PCGS. Lustrous light chocolate-brown with cartwheel frost across both sides and traces of actual mint red clinging to some of the letters, date digits, and harp. This is the first example of the type this cataloger has seen with any degree of original mint color. Very well struck and has no marks or blemishes of any consequence, this coin is thoroughly deserving of the Gem grade. A world-class example of this enigmatic colonial issue.

PCGS# 262.
